Ingredients

• 400 grams Extra-firm tofu
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Red onion
• 20 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 30 ml Lemon juice
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 15 grams Fresh basil leaves
• 15 grams Fresh parsley leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 10 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Place a heavy object on top and let it press for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Cut the pressed tofu into 2.5 cm cubes.

Step 3

Cut the red bell pepper and zucchini into similarly sized pieces as the tofu. Peel the red onion and cut it into wedges.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped basil, chopped parsley, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk together to make the herb marinade.

Step 5

Add the tofu cubes, red bell pepper pieces, zucchini slices, red onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl. Toss everything gently to ensure even coating with the marinade.

Step 6

Cover the bowl and let the vegetables and tofu marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Step 7

Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 8

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 9

Thread the marinated tofu and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between different types to create a colorful pattern.

Step 10

Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tofu and vegetables have grill marks and are tender.

Step 11

Remove from the grill and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 12

Serve the skewers warm and enjoy your vegan savory grilled skewers with herb marinade!
